Product Description
This advanced life sized model of the human brain is a fascinating and detailed addition to your studies. Labeled with 41 structures, this brain makes an idea study aid for medical school at a variety of levels, as well as patient education.
The brain can be easily disassembled into 8 pieces; Frontal and parietal lobes (2 pieces), temporal and occipital lobes (2 pieces), brain stem (2 pieces), and cerebellum (2 pieces). It also features an attached Circle of Willis and basilar artery. The model is held together with a unique combination of magnets and pegs, allowing for easy and intuitive reassembly.
Once disassembled, it's easy to identify 41 unique features with the use of the accompanying key.
